WASHINGTON NEWS.
THE WEEKS WEATHER.
Temperature and Rainfall Noted
by the Signal Service.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE signal
crop bulletin for the week ending May
IA: Temperature-During the current
week the weather has been warmer than
usual in all agricultural districts east of
the Rocky mountains and in the south
ern half and extreme northern portions
of California, the only sections report
ing cooler weather than the average for
the week being the Lower Rio Grande
valley, Oregon, Washington territory
and Central California. The excess
of temperature over the nor
NAL for the week in the wheat
Mississippi and Lower Missouri valleys
ranged from 500 to rs Ia daily average
of from about &c to IL . above the nor
maD. This excess of temperature has
served to advance the season over the
regions where the total deficiency in
temperature since Jan. ! ranges from
1909 to 5000. TO the Gulf states,
Tennessee, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware, the week was
about 25o warmer than usual, thus in
creasing the excess of temperature pre-
yiously reported in these sections; in
the cotton region the excess of tempera-
ture for the season now ranges from
20Oo to 300o. On the South At
iantic coast the average tempera-
ture for the week was about
the normal, thereby changing but
slightly the total deficiency of from
1909 to 200o as noted in the
bulletin for the previous week. Rain
fall-During the past week there has
been deficiency in rain fall in all sec
tons, except in the lower BIO Grande
valley, Delaware, Maryland, and at sta
tionS in Oregon and Washington terri
tory, where slight excuses are re-
ported. The slight rain fall during the
week has served to increase the def
cheney already existing in the Southern
states, where the rain fall since Jan.
/ has been from six to ten inches less
than the average for the season.
The rain fall for the season is
slightly in excess from Northern
Wisconsin westward to Northern
Dakota and in the upper Ohio valley,
the eastern portions of New York and
Pennsylvania and in Southern Michi-
gan. Generally in the wheat and corn
regions of the North this week has been
exceptionally favorable for agricultural
pursuits. The dry, warm weather con-
tinues in the cotton regions east of the
Mississippi, while the rains west of the
Mississippi have been favorable to the
cotton crop. Although there is a large
deficiency in the rainfall in the cotton
region, the recent showers have i'm
proved the condition of the crop in the
Lower Mississippi valley, while the
weather in North and South Carolina
and Southern Virginia is reported as ia
vorable for the growth of the plant.

STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE
Ofthe First Female Government
EmplOye.

Employe.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, May 15.-The World
special from Ilion, n. Y, says the ques-
ton as to who was the first female en-
ploye in the treasury department at
Washington having been raised, Gen.
f. Spinner, who resides in the village
of Mohawk, was called upon to decide
It. The name OF the lady, he says, was
Jeanette l.. Douglass. Miss Douglass
was born in PeterbOrO, Madison county,
n. T., and was neighb0r of the phi
lanthr0piSt Garet Smith, and it was
through his influence Gen. Spinner
made the appointment. Miss Douglass
was in 1860 a teacher in Mrs. Smiths
female seminary in Washington
in the building occupied by
Jefferson Davis while he was
secretary of war. At the outbreak of
the civil war the school was broken up,
and Miss Douglass rented the mansion
OF Mrs. Gaines and opened girls
school. 1t was not a success, and she
went to Scotland to look after property
there to which she had fallen heir. She
returned to New York city in 1870, and
wrote to her brother from there, saying
she would soon join him here. Since
that time he nor any of his friends have
ever seen or heard of Miss Doug
lass. Whether she got the fortune or
not, or whether she was robbed, kid
mapped or murdered, or committed sui
eide, is not known. The mystery of
her disappearance will probably never

GORE WILL NOT FLOW.
France Will Make Proper Amends
in the Fruichier Case.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The state de-
partment has not received official notifi-
cation of the enforced enlistment of J.
b. Fruichier, an American citizen, in
the French army. But the news has
been unofficially communicated to the
secretary through the newspapers, and
he is inclined to send an official inquiry
to the French government as to the
truth of the rumor. Friends of Fruich-
ier, however, are preparing a formal
and official notification of the fact, and
the department will probably defer any
action until such notification is re-
ceived. 1t is alleged that Fruichier
has been NATURAL Zed as an
American citizen, had his papers show
ing that fact with him, and claimed the
protection of this government; but
was compelled to enter the French
army, and is now serving in the Seventh
regiment. The secretary of state is in
terested in the matter. The assistant
secretary says: ''There is no power in
Europe more friendly to this country
than France. If facts are as repre-
scented, French officers have been guilty
OF a trespass upon the rights of one of
our citizens which cannot be tolerated.
And those French officers will receive
their punishment from France,
promptly. The French government
will not need urging. from the United
States to do the right thing. Right will
be done at once, as soon as official
attention is called to the case"

= New YORK, May ia World special
from Raleigh, n. c., says: "There is
much excitement in Oxford, this state,
pending the trial of negro named
Tabor for assaulting white woman, the
wife of a prominent physician. Citizens
go about armed. Ammunition has been
distributed to the local military COM
pany, and there is every indication that
blOOdshed is expected The particular
reason for this unusual preparation on
the part of the white population is be-
cause the prisoners friends have threat
ened to introduce as TabOr's defense
that he was asked to go to the house in
the absence of the w0man'S husband.
The complainant is of such high stand
ing and so much respected in
say they will drag the prisoner from
the courtroom and hang him to the
nearest tree, if any such testimony is
offered. The trial came off this week.
The circumStantial evidence alone is
sufficient to diSprOve the negro'S coun-
ter charge. The assault took place
about three weeks ago. Tabor entered
the lady's resideace at night. 1t was
not till he had approached her bed that
she discovered it was not her husband.
She tried to escape from the room, but
he prevented her and she then sprang
through the window and fled to neigh
boris house. An alarm was given, and
a few hours later the negro was cap
tured. The lady was ill at the time
from recent maternity, and exposure
to the night air and the shock
to her nerves completely Frustrated
he. A rumOr of lynching reached
the negro settlement in Oxford. With
out learning the truth of the report and
attributing the threat to the citizens of
the town, they planned to burn the
place. On windy night in March a
brOther-in-law of the prisoner set fire
to large tobacco warehouse in the
business section of the city. More than
$4,000 worth of property was destroyed.
The young man had already received
an anonymous letter warning him that
the town would be burned if Tabor was
lynched. Had not this been sufficient,
the actions of the negroes, their bolster
their refusal to assist in re-
moving the goods would have as
sured the whites that the fire was
incendiary. Bloodshed was averted
only by the negroes retreating before
the drawn revOlvers of whites. A de-
tective was employed to find out the
principals. The result was the arrest
of the negro, Noel, who applied the
torch, and one other. The evidence
against Noel was conclusive, and he
would have been at once swung to a
chimney but for the hope of securing
others through his turning states evil
dence. Since his arrest an outbreak has
been even more imminent, the blacks
expecting daily that their imprisoned
friends would be lynched.
